    Nintendo Switch Online adds two more Nintendo 64 titles to its classic library

    Smash is little complex. All the royalties to HAL and stuff Nintendo probably is cheaping out on.

    "TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist" for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive gets a brand new DX romhack with new features

    I'm hoping for a restoration of the turtles in time assets. this game has a less fun ending/credits sequence, and the music is slightly off.

    Gaming Hardware Homebrew GCN Help with trying to get an NTSC-J GameCube game to save on a fresh memory card with only an NTSC-U Wii available

    If you can view any of the file contents, that suggests your memory card is not Japanese. The save manager should ask you to reformat a Japanese card.

    Checking games for mojibake is an easy way to tell if things are configured right.

    Gaming Hardware Homebrew GCN Help with trying to get an NTSC-J GameCube game to save on a fresh memory card with only an NTSC-U Wii available

    An NTSC-U Wii cannot read actual NTSC-J formatted memory cards. For things to work 100% properly, you'd have to outright region-change your system to Japanese. Devices like Freeloader create a settings mismatch, by running Japanese games under a non-Japanese environment. Some games don't care...

    Mar10 Day 2024 announcements - new Mario movie, Paper Mario TTYD remaster release date, and more

    The humorous part is these remakes take far more resources to develop, and people still gripe. TTYD has entirely redone textures when they could've tossed the rom onto the eshop.

    Mar10 Day 2024 announcements - new Mario movie, Paper Mario TTYD remaster release date, and more

    Don't count on it. Flagship Mario games are usually once per generation. (even that isn't guaranteed, the GBA never got a fully-fledged brand new Super Mario platformer)

    Citra 3DS emulator is also shutting down development, GitHub repo taken down

    More like what's the advantage? Open source has become effectively the standard for fanmade emulators. I don't know what features would be major enough to spend money on.

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    I think it'd be better if emulators strove to run the game from the cartridge first, where practical. A backup copy should be regarded as secondary. Either way... since Nintendo has already been paid for the game, it can be argued they're only "damaged" when a backup is played on a platform...

    Citra 3DS emulator is also shutting down development, GitHub repo taken down

    I'm not going to hide that I'm incapable of shelling out 80 bucks left and right. But I recognize how much work it takes to create a modern caliber game. No matter your opinion of Nintendo's business practices, at least have some respect for the creative team! The level design, textures, music...

    The Unknowns of Emulation: A Breakdown of Yuzu V. Nintendo

    The pirates ruined it for everyone else. People who emulate the Switch to run homebrew, or to study its internal mechanisms, aren't being unethical.

    Citra 3DS emulator is also shutting down development, GitHub repo taken down

    I guess I tried too hard to be sarcastic. Inserting the cartridge in a different system was literally how Nintendo's backwards compatibility worked. So I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, if I objected to wiring a Switch cart slot into your PC. On a site like this, most people would argue...

    Nintendo is suing the Yuzu emulator team

    Here is a list of countries that are supposed to have agreed to enact anti-circumvention laws. https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/treaties/ShowResults?search_what=C&treaty_id=16

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    It might not be a *good* law, though as the law stands, an emulator that doesn't comply with the DMCA is illegal (in the US). Regardless it's too late for Nintendo to stop the train. Since anybody can fork Yuzu source code, shutting down developers isn't going to achieve much now.

    Citra 3DS emulator is also shutting down development, GitHub repo taken down

    Even if the EULA isn't necessarily enforceable, some of us could use common sense. If you buy a Switch game, you own a Switch game. I'm pretty sure the name of the console isn't "Play This Game on Any Device You Want!".
